Product Description
For parents who want their baby to have a nutritionally formula with a simple list of ingredients, Holle Bio Stage PRE Organic Infant Milk Formula is a perfect choice from birth onward, either on its own or as a supplement to breast milk.
Holle is one of the most well-respected baby formula brands in the world, and Holle's Stage PRE cow’s milk-based formula meets the Demeter standard for organic, biodynamic farming, far surpassing the requirements for organic agriculture in the United States. Demeter certification requires annual renewal, ensuring that all Demeter farms are committed to biodiversity promotion, ecosystem preservation, and the highest animal welfare standards. Furthermore, the ingredients in the Holle Bio Stage PRE infant formula are derived entirely from GMO-free and chemical-free agriculture and manufacturing.
You’ll find little else in this baby formula besides biodynamic organic whole milk, organic whey powder, organic lactose, DHA and essential vitamins and minerals. Compared to other formulas, Holle Bio Stage PRE stands out because a significant proportion of its fat content comes from Demeter-certified milk fat, with a smaller proportion from vegetable oils.
Manufactured and packaged in Germany, this formula is completely free from synthetic nutrients and artificial preservatives, coloring, and flavors. You won’t find any gluten, starch, maltodextrin, sucrose, corn syrup, or soy in this formula.
We guarantee that you’ll receive a fresh, beautifully-packaged shipment of Holle Bio Stage PRE infant formula with at least six months to go before the expiration date. Each box of Holle Stage PRE formula contains 400 grams (14.1 oz) of formula powder, which should make approximately 100 fl oz of prepared formula.

About the Manufacturer
About Holle Organic
Founded in Switzerland in the 1930s, Holle quickly became one of the first companies to achieve the organic Demeter certification, given only to manufacturers working with the highest quality biodynamic farms. For over 85 years, the Holle brand has grown to represent the highest echelon of global organic quality.
While Holle produces a variety of baby products, Holle baby formula is known for its Demeter certification, formulations with fewer ingredients to promote easy digestion, and nutritional completeness. Holle formulas are always based on lactose from biodynamic skim milk, contain added whey to more closely resemble breast milk protein composition, and essential organic nutrients to promote healthy development. Holle also specializes in high quality organic goat milk formula as a healthy alternative for babies with sensitivity to milk proteins. The Holle brand also includes the Lebenswert Bio line of baby formulas, which it launched in 2009.
Holle also cares deeply about sustainability, undergoing a CO2 audit in 2012 covering its entire formula manufacturing process. Today, Holle’s baby formula products are CO2 neutral. At Little Bundle, we love Holle products because we can feel great about them both for their nutritional excellence and environmental sustainability.
The Best Ingredients that Organic and Biodynamic Agriculture Have to Offer
“What you feed children when they are young will affect their
eating habits—and their health—for the rest of their lives.”
Thankful to have consumer-friendly & safe access to Holle which my newborn has thrived on. Her meconium transitioned quickly on Holle which I think helped clear her jaundice and greatly improved her diaper rash. She is a well nourished & happy baby. Thank you Litt...
